Though the COVID-19 scenario is not over yet, it is almost time for new year’s festivities. With most people being vaccinated, staying at home may not seem like a great idea to celebrate the New Year. 

Back to back partying, crazy dancing, an infinite bottom’s up! But what’s next? Waking up to a pounding headache, bloodshot eyes, and a twirling stomach? 

Are you wondering how to detoxify your system after all the partying, eating, and drinking? Read on for some healthy brews and sumptuous foods which will relieve your post-party symptoms. 

Let’s have a look at this quick list of foods and drinks that will be your best friend post new year’s party scenes:

Ginger And Lemon 

Alcohol, being a diuretic, pushes liquids out of your body. A glass of water should be the first thing you grab once you are up. Infusing it with a few lemon drops and grated ginger would help your body in a great way besides adding flavour. 

Ginger has been a well-known cure for nausea for ages and lemon-infused water supports detoxification by boosting liver function and tissue regeneration because of its antioxidant (prevent or delay some types of cell damage) and anti-inflammatory (reduce swelling) properties. 

Banana And Oats 

Oats and banana smoothie bowls can do wonders as they trap many superfoods together. Oats are nutrient-packed and raise your blood sugar level in a healthy manner, and banana gives you potassium which your body had lost the previous night. 

Adding crushed nuts and frozen fruits would not only make it look appetising but also give you a variety of nutrients in one shot.

Coconut Water

Coconut water is worth the hype. This liquid is super-rich in electrolytes and is highly effective in hydrating and nourishing your body. 

It is a flavoured liquid, rich in minerals, which can replace the monotonous glass of water.

Eggs

Eggs, the favourite hangover food! Eggs are rich in the amino acid cysteine that helps break down acetaldehyde, the toxin responsible for those awful hangovers. 

Scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, or an omelette - eggs can be eaten the way you desire but make sure not to go beyond 2 eggs and use minimum fat in the cooking process.

Water-Based Fruits

Water-based fruits like melons, grapes, and cucumbers not only rehydrate you but can cure your headaches as well. 

Watermelon is an extremely hydrating fruit and contains potassium, as well as vitamins (like A, B6, and C). It also helps in liver function and detoxifies the body as it contains glutathione, an antioxidant.

Other Simple Tips For Post-Party Detoxification: 

  • Exercise: It is the best way to press the reset button after a night of splurging. Spare at least 30 minutes for a run or a brisk walk to get your heart racing and blood circulating.

  • Drink water: This is the best way to flush the toxins out of your body. Drink plenty of water, preferably warm water, all through the day for better metabolism.

  • Avoid sugar and oily foods: Sugar and oily food bloats your stomach and can also cause nausea. When you are already fighting a hangover, eating sugar or excess oily food can only worsen your symptoms.

  • Rest well and get enough sleep: After those long and continuous nights of partying, your body needs to rest well. Make sure to sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day to get back on track.

Follow these tips to manage the new year’s hangover. Ring in the new year with loads of health and happiness! Party safe, party healthy!
